HAMDEN >> A local man turned himself in to police Tuesday on charges that he fired a bullet that went through the bedroom wall of a local home three weeks ago.

Kajon Sweat-Bruce, 22, was released after posting $1,000 bail for charges that stemmed from the Jan. 28 incident, Police Capt. Ronald Smith said in a press release Wednesday. No one was hurt by the bullet.

The woman told police she had heard a loud bang near her home around 12:30 p.m. that day. Several hours later, she reportedly found the bullet had gone through a second-floor bedroom wall, had hit an interior wall and then had fallen to the floor.

Police had said in January that a witness told them he heard two gunshots on nearby West Helen Street around the same time as the loud bang.

Det. Joseph Liguori conducted an investigation that resulted in a warrant for Sweat-Bruce’s arrest.

Sweat-Bruce, who lives on West Helen Street, was charged with first-degree reckless endangerment, unlawful discharge of a firearm, making a false statement and tampering with evidence. He is to appear March 3 in Meriden court. .
